Bounder

Bounders are ball-shaped creatures native to Gnosticus IV, specifically the Shadowlands. They bounce around, occasionally getting in the way, but are otherwise harmless.

The in-game help text states: These red, friendly, bouncing guys can be annoying, but they can be helpful, too!

Physiology and Behaviour

Bounders are red, ball-like creatures. They have large, connected eyes. These eyes can be opened and closed, or at the least made smaller and larger. They also have two somewhat thick, black, detached eyebrows which float above their eyes. Bounders lack any visible teeth, which would presumably make eating difficult. Their diet is unknown, but is assumed to consist of plants and such. Unlike the Dopefish, they do not eat heroes. They are very tough and can be stood upon and pogoed off of, which often allows Keen to reach higher areas. During the day, they bounce around the planet randomly. It is unknown whether or not they ever sleep, since the games in which they are found occur during the day.
